The State Of Europe.

Asurvey of Europe reveals more superb.
eial1y tranquil state Of affairs than has exist
sdfor long time. The only thing the belhg-
erent correspondents can find of an alarm
ing nature relates to the doings Of Russia
In Afghanistan. 1t is said that forty thous.
and Russians are under arms in Dalmatia
prepared for q campaign, and that the
Nontenegrin army IL ready for action but
. this 10 the normal condition Of standing
armies and they exist chiefly for the pur-
poee Of being ready for use on short notice,
it would be rather surprising it Austria
md the little mountain country were not
n: this menancing attitude. That forty
thousand Of the Austrian army should be
n Dalmatia, simply means that it is be-
Nsvsd that il trouble comes it may come
fEom that quarter; and it would not be at
I'll surprising IL another forty thousand
were found massed on the eastern frontier.
There are all kinds Of rumors about Ser.
Va and that country seems to be going to
the dogs about As fast as its king can take
=. Austria, Russia and Germany have
cleared the political atmosphere little by
storm In their great newspapers over their
intrigues of dozen years ago, the result of
4 al being that Germany has proved that
Austria had secret agreement with Rus.
- for the division Of Turkey. The
Germans express their disgust at
this exhibition of Austrian duplicity,
Just - though instances of that quality
dh not abound In European diplomacy. It

Secetved the congratulations and "sincere'
good wishes Of all the governments of
Europe, and yet We Aud him reviewing his
army - though he did not believe a word

- II present law does; or would at least
lfhon6stly executed. Under the law as 1t
~ stands every tavern of which the esti-
abed yearly sales, according to the mer.
sonntile appraisers return, are ten thousand
8ullnss, u in the first class and must pay
nSvln hundred dollars for its license. Where
- estimated sales are eight thousand dol
N. the license fee Is four hundred dollars;
II thousand dollars OF sales call for two
hundred dollars; four thousand demands
nundred, but no license is less than fifty
Aollars.
None will doubt that there are num-
ber Of tavern bars in Lancaster where
nore than ten thousand dollars are taken in
during the year but none pay, we under.
Sand, more than fifty dollars. 1t is simply
- failure Of duty upon the part Of the
mercantile appraiser and fraud upon the
law which ought to scandalize the admin
4 jDtgati0n Of justice but 1t does not seem to
have done 20. The court gravely grants
licenses year after year and the clerk
gravely takes ffty dollars where the law
demands seven hundred and no voice
about the temple Of justice has ever been
heard In protest.
We have caused the present mercantile
appraiser to be asked for an explanation of
= IN appraisement Of taverns that is SO
manifestly incorrect; and he replies that he
followedih the footsteps of his predecessor
.l0f6e returns which he made. But how
The habit inaugurated Of charging fifty
dollars when seven hundred was due, ant
how it has run 50 long course undisturbet
by the officers of the county, is not ex
planned. Mr.. James Black, who has froI
time immemoral stood as the friend of tn
the court and the champion of the ten
perance cause, to object to the granting O
licenses, has never, we believe, proteste
against the low grading Of the tavern'
This is consistent, however, with his pre-!
ent declaration Of hostility to high license
& and seems to entitle Mr.. Black to be halle
g once ~ the advocate Of the taverl
keeper and teetOtaller.
